Interactive training programs introducing children to coding, robotics, AI, and environmental innovation. Designed to nurture creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving from an early age.
Capacity-building sessions that empower teachers with skills to integrate STEM and Artificial Intelligence into classroom instruction, fostering innovation and curiosity among learners.
Our Projects
STEM Labs & Innovation Workshops
We design and set up modern STEM Labs and Innovation Workshops in schools and community spaces. Our model follows the STEM Career Pathway, integrating Coding, Hardware, Engineering, Science, and Sustainability. These labs serve as innovation hubs that inspire creativity and practical learning.
Lactation Rooms & Women’s Workplace Support
We advocate for safe, inclusive, and family-friendly workspaces for women. Our initiative supports the setup of lactation rooms and private nursing cubicles in schools, public institutions, and workplaces — ensuring dignity and comfort for lactating mothers. This initiative also promotes gender-sensitive infrastructure for women teachers and professionals in marginalized communities.
